Depicts the “Great Trek.”

An Interesting film has just been shown in London dealing with early South African history, and has been praised by General Botha. It depicts the “Great Trek” of the Boer Into Natal and Dingan’s Land In»1836, and follows Peit Retiefs adventure through with tremendous realism. Coming into collision with the hative Kafirs, and with the British when the latter made Natal an English colony, *The Boers pushed on beyond the Drakenberg mountains to found the Transvaal and Orange Free S’ate. “You have depicted the history of my people in a manner at which I can only marvel,” Botha told the producer.
